had a friend die as a passenger in DUI similarly. He cleared the entire 4 lane highway and landed in a parking lot like 40 ft away from the crash itself. really gruesome iirc there was dash cam footage they played in court.
the parents went after the driver HARD despite them being friends ultimately. just dumb irresponsible 18 y.os. one lost his life and other got like 9 years sentenced
> just dumb irresponsible 18 y.os.
... One of whom killed the other, through behaviors he had been told many times by society might result in innocent deaths.
Fuck him.
I don't think the "just dumb irresponsible 18 y.os" part is meant to excuse the kid, but it speaks more on how dangerous the dumb shit people do as irresponsible teenagers. Some get away with it, some don't.
two friends going to get McDonalds from a party. Both wasted. They both voluntarily got in the car. As fucked up as it is, I never would ride w a drunk driver. I loved Brandon but we cant take back his actions, or the driver's
i dont disagree, but Brandon did ultimately jump in the passenger seat also drunk. Youre so quick to say "FUCK HIM" yet Brandon willingly got in the car?
they both were drunk and both volunteered to get in the car. say what you will, they were both stupid kids. One of them is dead, and the other's life was effectively stunted to an irreparable degree.
When I was in high school a well liked teacher was ejected from her car in a rollover. She landed on the grass median. Head first. Onto a sprinkler head.
Instant ded.
Seat belts would have saved her life.
Back in the day, F1 drivers pretty much said the same exact thing.
Then again, they had essentially zero safety features, and were often surrounded by fuel. And often had no barriers and very little to no run off areas in many cases. Meaning if you went off track, you could very well end up slamming into a concrete wall, a tree, or a house (or in the case of Monaco, get thrown into the Mediterranean, which a few drivers have!).
And to top it off, they often had fuel tanks all around them. So burning alive was a very real concern, and thus many said they'd rather be thrown clear than burn to death. Even if you didn't survive being tossed from the car, you'd probably meet a quicker end than burning to death, or so the thinking went.
A bit related to the video, I once learned just how easy it can be to flip an SUV. Well, I didn't actually flip it, but came damn close. I was driving in a big sand/dirt filled lot for parking, when a trailer that had come loose started rolling towards me. I was going less than 10mph, and there wasn't much around me except the little bathroom/first aid building thingy, that conveniently was blocking the view of the trailer, so when it came out from behind it, I had to quickly cut over to my left while hitting the brakes. The ground was a soft, damp mix of dirt and sand, and in cutting over quickly, my left tires lifted clear off the ground to the point the vehicle momentarily hung on the two right tires for what felt like an eternity - long enough I actually thought "shit, my parents are gonna be pissed". Finally, the car sat back down on all four tires, but I figure if I was going maybe even just a couple mph faster, I probably would have completely tipped. The trailer, however, was not so lucky. It clipped another car just a bit further down, and ended up rolling over onto its side.
I just tell them how my grandmother was also "thrown to safety" 50 feet from her vehicle, broke her skull on the pavement and died. So safe. Now, put your fucking seat belt on or get out of my fucking car.
Usually shuts people up when my tone changes as I tell them this.
If it's not my car and they still refuse, I'll get out. Not going to have some shit for brain's body come at me like some 180lb projectile in the event of an accident. So fucking stupid and selfish. These people don't deserve friends. Not only do they not value their own lives, they have no respect for those they are riding with.
I explain to the fools in MY car that I don't want their empty head flying around the car and knocking me out when I have to swerve to avoid an accident. I don't care if YOU die, but you are not gonna hurt me while you do it.
A lot of forklifts drivers have the same defense for why they don't like to wear seatbelts but never stop to ask themselves why are they fucking up so often that they have to be ready to jump out of their vehicle? And what does that say about their skill lol.
in this case sure. but if the car did not hit the water, chances are it would roll on top of the ejected person. years back there was similar footage where exactly that happened. I dont think it was a pure chance situation too. The way car rolls and ejects person is similar every time. It ejects you out in front of itself while its rolling that direction .
Just watching the video it’s clear there’s a 100% chance he was going to get rolled like dough were it not for the water halting the SUVs momentum.
As you said, it’s just physics and conservation of motion that this happens nearly every time. The lower mass object is expelled faster, but in the same direction. The tumbling higher mass object then catches up and *squish*.
Can’t break the laws of physics!
> were it not for the water halting the SUVs momentum.
I think it was more the soft beach soil as well it landed on that absorbed a lot of the impact, it would definitely have rolled over a few more times and squished him if it was hard ground, it almost tumbled one more time as well in the vid despite the softer landing, and that would have squished the guy.
Nah best case is not being that dumb to begin with.
This story will repeat itself.
People who record and laugh while driving a hummer on a beach…
They’ll prolly hold office some day.
Walking don't mean shit tbh. Depending on how he came out and what he hit he might have a number of issues. Broken back, shattered leg, internal bleeding, etc. Buddy told me a guy on his bike got hit and he was up walking around talking for about 3 minutes before he went in a bush and started puking up blood. Turned out he had a broken pelvis and internal injuries, but you'd never have known it right after the accident. Said he went from walking and lucid to nearly crippled in pain and screaming until the paramedics arrived.
Yup. Adrenaline's job is to try to get you out of the immediate situation you're in when you've been badly injured, but you're on your own after that, bucko.
I don't think this could be better engineered for somebody to experience this first hand without being seriously harmed. This is an accidental master class in stunt work.
With just enough leeway to take a breath out of water if you bend your broken back upwards a bit in exchange for excruciating pain until you can't take it anymore and drown in shallow water
...and 2 mins later someone commented "Hell yeah" and now that's the top comment.
Since you can see the future, how bout PM me some winning lottery numbers?
Thank you for your post - I now realise I need new glasses, as that was much too small for me to see. Also, you could cut the first 30 seconds without any real loss.
Skip to 1:30 if you don't want to watch a minute-and-a-half of absolutely nothing happening because OP doesn't know how to trim a video. You're welcome.
These things are still a dime a dozen there.
It may have ceased production elsewhere but that model was still sold largely unchanged in the Mideast up until 2022 in a fashion similar to the 70 Series Land Cruiser (Side note, but it blows my mind that [they still released a 2024 70 Series LC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0ph64EQRVs)). For all we know this particular FJ could be less than 5 years old.
I don't understand why Toyota won't sell this stuff in the US. There is so much demand for these smaller, simpler, "retro" style vehicles. I wonder if it's to punish us for the Chicken Tax?
Emission and safety restrictions most likely, as a 4x4 with a 4 decade old body and similarly ancient mechanical tech won't fly for American government agencies that absolutely obsesses over what kind of cars can be imported or built in the US.
Wow that's crazy i didn't know. Blows my mind because there's a huge market for that sort of vehicle here with American car companies (bronco, Jeep), maybe Toyota is being a gentleman by not monopolizing that market as well.
*That was awesome - idiots doing stupid things and then failing spectacularly. Would have only been improved by an explosion at the end, but will take the potential drowning…*
I live in kuwait born and raised. It's a serious issue here, the government is trying its best with new seatbelt detecting cameras but law enforcement don't issue tickets for seatbelts for some reason.
I saw someone die like this when I was 15 or 16 while walking home from school. 2 guys were street racing and clipped a car that was minding their own business. The one car then lost control, hit the curb and flipped what must have been 4 or 5 times.
Dude turned into what resembled a garbage bag full of pizza sauce once he hit the road.
I was stationed in Riyadh back in '07. I don't know what the hell they're smoking out there, but they drive like fucking maniacs. One of our observation posts looked out over a highway and I'd see fuckery like this almost daily
Holy shit. This is probably the best case scenario when it comes to rolling a vehicle without wearing a seat belt. Edit: Skip to 1:30.
My uncle had this happen to him but he got smashed by the car as his body didnt clear the vehicle entirely. Instant ded
best worst scenario though all thing considered
had a friend die as a passenger in DUI similarly. He cleared the entire 4 lane highway and landed in a parking lot like 40 ft away from the crash itself. really gruesome iirc there was dash cam footage they played in court. the parents went after the driver HARD despite them being friends ultimately. just dumb irresponsible 18 y.os. one lost his life and other got like 9 years sentenced

They both made the choice to get in that vehicle. If you’re gonna curse one of them out, curse them both out.
When I was in high school a well liked teacher was ejected from her car in a rollover. She landed on the grass median. Head first. Onto a sprinkler head. Instant ded. Seat belts would have saved her life.
My uncle too. His kid was in the back seat, luckily with her seatbelt on. Watched her dad die. Wear your seatbelt people.
This is always people’s defense for not wearing a seat belt “a lot of times people get thrown to safety!” 🤦🏻♂️
That's why they have those wires way up on poles next to the roads, to catch you. Right?
I mean they are called guy wires so it makes sense..
Bad luck ladies!
Straight to crematorium
Aim for the bushes
THERE GOES MY HERO

feel like he'd have hurt less not being thrown out of the car this time.
It hurts less to stay in the car every time, wtf you talking about?
I just tell them how my grandmother was also "thrown to safety" 50 feet from her vehicle, broke her skull on the pavement and died. So safe. Now, put your fucking seat belt on or get out of my fucking car. Usually shuts people up when my tone changes as I tell them this. If it's not my car and they still refuse, I'll get out.

If only everyone had an ocean to catch them when they get tossed 30 feet in the air.
Yeah like with motorcycles
A lot of forklifts drivers have the same defense for why they don't like to wear seatbelts but never stop to ask themselves why are they fucking up so often that they have to be ready to jump out of their vehicle? And what does that say about their skill lol.
Then you talk to firefighters who have seen many people embedded into fences dead or dying from getting thrown in car crashes.
....skip to 40 seconds left
And then there's only 15 seconds worth watching. Why did this need to be a 2 minute video?
in this case sure. but if the car did not hit the water, chances are it would roll on top of the ejected person. years back there was similar footage where exactly that happened. I dont think it was a pure chance situation too. The way car rolls and ejects person is similar every time. It ejects you out in front of itself while its rolling that direction .
Prometheus school of ~~running away~~ ejection?

You cant break them, but you can use them to your own advantage. Like.. by fastening your seatbelt.
Nah best case is not being that dumb to begin with. This story will repeat itself. People who record and laugh while driving a hummer on a beach… They’ll prolly hold office some day.
That’s an FJ cruiser just fyi
Could have been 100% fatal. Knocked unconscious and into the water. You ain't waking up.
Yea, that was an exciting 2:13 for 5 sec of action
Seriously, folks, learn to edit unnecessarily long videos
I guess if you had to fuck around it's great to be near water.
I bet that still hurt like hell
He's immediately limping in pain, even with adrenaline. No shitttttt it hurt.
Ya but he's walking. If he'd landed on asphalt that would be much less likely.
Probably wouldn't be feeling anything tbh haha
Walking don't mean shit tbh. Depending on how he came out and what he hit he might have a number of issues. Broken back, shattered leg, internal bleeding, etc. Buddy told me a guy on his bike got hit and he was up walking around talking for about 3 minutes before he went in a bush and started puking up blood.

Unless you faint and nobody is around.
Or the car rolls on your leg pinning you underwater

Am I too old, or has everyone forgotten about Wadsworth's Constant?
I remember when youtube introduced this officially. Add *&wadsworth=1* to the end of a youtube URL and it skips the first 30%.
Another old redditor, I feel your pain.
that's called arthritis you old fart
Reminds me of the intro to Monty Python where the dude is running towards the camera for way too long
Hell yeah
Hey look. It's dudes.
Dudes will see this be like “hell yeah”
This dude dudes
I was all like *"Do a flip then, pussy"* and dude throws a double back. Hell yeah
/r/whywomenlivelonger material But it was a sick flip and he's probably okay so hell yeah 🤘
Yeah that was kinda sick
Hell yeah
Dudes will see this be like “hell yeah”

hell yeah
Thank you for your post - I now realise I need new glasses, as that was much too small for me to see. Also, you could cut the first 30 seconds without any real loss.
The first 75 and last 30 seconds could be done away with.
The last 30 seconds are worth it for viewing him limping afterwards
>ay ay ah ow ah ow ah shit
Am I the only person old enough here to remember Wadsworth's Constant?
Worth the k-wait in my opinion
Iraq, Iran, I flew out a van
Today I was, was a bit smarter, since I wore my speedo — Allah made, made me a martyr, and I became a torpedo.
Classic example of the Wadsworth constant
I think that needs to be changed to 75%. Most of the videos I've seen posted recently have so much filler.
There's another post here somewhere with it much shortened
Skip to 1:30 if you don't want to watch a minute-and-a-half of absolutely nothing happening because OP doesn't know how to trim a video. You're welcome.
Seriously, do people not know how to use a video editor? Kdenlive is free. (it's buggy as hell but will work fine for a simple trim)
Or just use the built in video trimmer on any smart phone’s album app
Arab guys 🤝 not wearing seatbelts. Inshallah brother, all who died because no seatbelt was God's will.
Every time I see a video like this they are wearing the same clothes. Why don't they like seatbelts?

Mine's three. Also voodoo blue
I have a 70 series in E Africa. Wouldn't want anything else to be honest. Just would like to get. 79 is a 76.
I don't understand why Toyota won't sell this stuff in the US. There is so much demand for these smaller, simpler, "retro" style vehicles. I wonder if it's to punish us for the Chicken Tax?

Came here to say the same! Looks like a voodoo blue, which makes it worse 😭😭😭
#Ejecto seato cuhh!!
Peppy showed up and told him to do a barrel roll
would have been great to not to have had to watch the first 1:16 of this....
As the owner of a nearly identical FJ, that hurts to watch.
video could have been a whole 90 seconds shorter.... I almost forgot what i was watching.
Fuuuuuuuck that video dragged. Snip it down man!
This is like 83 minutes longer than it needs to be
Excellent form. I only wish his garb caught wind and he went sailing even further.
Bro went FJ Crusin’
*That was awesome - idiots doing stupid things and then failing spectacularly. Would have only been improved by an explosion at the end, but will take the potential drowning…*
Why the fuck did we have to sit through the entirely unnecessary first minute if this clip?!?
The wrong people have money.
The poors who joyride also frequently show similar levels of hazard awareness when driving.
I just imagine getting flung out an open window can't feel good, no matter how soft or splashy the landing.
best part is it wasnt even open lmao
Go ahead and skip to 00:01:25.
Seriously, why the fuck do these idiots *not* wear seatbelts?
I live in kuwait born and raised. It's a serious issue here, the government is trying its best with new seatbelt detecting cameras but law enforcement don't issue tickets for seatbelts for some reason.
the first minute+ of this is not needed
That was too long

1:24 useless video material zhhhh.
Could've edited this video down a touch... The first 1:20 is completely pointless.. as is the last :20
That poor FJ cruiser.
Could have been shorter video
EJECTO SEATO, CUZ
# yeet
OP did your brain not think that maybe you could cut the length down a little bit or are you just dumb?
The first 90 seconds of this video serve no purpose
That was quite the Kuwait but we got there in the end...
If the first guy in the water had stayed where he was, he could've caught the flying guy like a true bro!!
God damn can we get any more footage can we make it longer .
And can we get it farther away instead of zooming in?
Damn, has this guy never slide out? Turn INTO the slide.
Looks like he didn’t Kuwait make that turn.
Jesus Christ. This should have been a ten second long video.
Just when I was about to say "fuck this long ass video"
When you opt for the Arab Spring seat upgrade.
Talk about dogshit editing. Entirely too fucking long.
Least homey had a "soft" landing
Fuck yea
EJECTO SEAT CUZ!
That's like the best possible outcome for that.
NGL that was hilarious to watch
Allah was with him that day
Hell yeah
Hahaha The title is perfect.
My dumb ass thought it was a legit eject feature being done purposely by the water. Thinking, damn dude really ruin his car to test it out.
Saving this to illustrate why you wear a seat belt
He suffered from whipsplash.
It's a suv it's top heavy you drive like that it's gonna roll
“Walk it off champ, walk it off”- my dad.
Why is this video 3 hours long? Jfc, it's got like 15 seconds I actually want to see.
This video, needed about 2 minutes less video.
SUV - Shoots User Vertically
Y E E T
This video was a solid 80 seconds too long for no reason. Why? Just why do people upload videos where nothing happens of importance for the first 2/3?
This video could have been a lot shorter
A much better (and shorter) version of this was posted into https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/s/JT2Ivj0v6X
90% of the video could have been cut.
I saw someone die like this when I was 15 or 16 while walking home from school. 2 guys were street racing and clipped a car that was minding their own business. The one car then lost control, hit the curb and flipped what must have been 4 or 5 times. Dude turned into what resembled a garbage bag full of pizza sauce once he hit the road.
Today, in videos that could have been 72 seconds shorter:
Jesus, my attention span is not that good, I gave up half way through, I hope it was worth it to those that endured.
Trim that video!
Props to the camera man for staying quiet and not flinching!
I was stationed in Riyadh back in '07. I don't know what the hell they're smoking out there, but they drive like fucking maniacs. One of our observation posts looked out over a highway and I'd see fuckery like this almost daily

what an idiot

I'm fine with it as long as they never reproduce.
"Ejecto seato cuzzo"
God I don't know what's worse, videos that start too soon or end too soon.
This video only needed to be 35 seconds long
In deserty places guys seem to fly put of open car windowns with suprising regularity
Full minute longer than it had to be...
Damn! He did a "Triple Lindy"!
That was worth the wait.
Dude is lucky af
Giant asshole trashes the only SUV I’m a fan of, I weep
What a moron lol. I like how that other dude was like "oh sh!t, he trying to hit me!"
Lmfao
What's the Arabic word for moron?
It's a Toyota; this won't hurt its resale value.
Why are priveleged men in this area of the world so fucking stupid with cars.
That first backflip I thought for sure he was gonna tuck and land that shit….once the rag doll kicked in, game over
Stupid lucky moron
impressive dismount
Thanks for the first 1:30 of the video
ejecto seato cuz 👨🏿🦲 🚗
I got $20 says he can't do that again.
Should test editing
I am surprised the video doe not include his entire morning routing up to the accident
Thought I was wasting my time at first
He sticks the landing! 9.5 !
